Wow great suggestion, just tried it on an asura mesmer, unfortunately the issue is the same

Oh I can see it on the right. Your settings for display seem kind of strange?

If your guild has a guild hall you could try gliding in that with another class. Doesn’t matter for the level and you can use the guild Tab to get there.

I feel your pain. The current system can be quite tedious. I’ve made a mistake as well the other night when I was tired for tier 4 Nevermore and threw out some trophy items that I needed to keep, when in the previous tiers you could just throw them all out, to find it’s bugged and you can’t buy them all from the vender.

This kind of thing is going to happen and I’m not sure there is an easy solution. But in your case definitely making it so it can’t be put in the forge would help.

Did you zone out after getting the mastery unlocked? Maybe restart the client? Otherwise you may need to run a repair.

Nevermore (Can't re-buy item?)

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Andraus.3874

Andraus.3874

Okay I did this exact thing on accident. You can fix this. So far I threw out like all the fractal items (plus SB item) and only one appears to be bought again for karma from the vender. I panicked at first. However you either have to redo the fractal and get the item again OR just do whatever it tells you to do without the item and it still works OR you can buy the item from the guy with karma. It’s not consistent and can be any one of these three things. So far I’ve been able to do everything. I haven’t checked the item from SB yet but all the fractal items I was able to do the “second” step with by doing one of those three things. If anyone finds an exception let me know. It took me awhile to figure out you could just simply do this without the item and it still works such as with the item from savinar fractal and taking it to the Jora statue. I clicked on the statue without the item and it still worked.

However this is still a bug regardless. You shouldn’t have to go back a redo these things. It’s silly the other tiers did not require you holding onto items like this and honestly I was tired when I did these and did not read through each one (there are quite a lot). I just felt like doing some fractals and getting that out of the way. Then later had inventory issues and threw the items out. So this really needs fixed.

Did I lose my level reward?

Andraus.3874

Don’t bother with a ticket unless you really want that riffle. Which really isn’t worth it in my opinion.

Additional “rewards” such as character stats or unlocking weapon swap or asura gates use really have nothing to do the chests themselves. Those are more or less just informative. For example you can level 1-80 with times of knowledge and open 0 of those chests but you still will have all these abilities/stats etc.

Can someone explain the orb price increase

or u can mine for them and help cool the ore market down

Yeah this doesn’t work. I could probably farm fotm faster and just buy them. Actually farming T5 matts to updraft them would be faster.

I’m not opposed to dishing out the gold. I’m probably going to just buy the T5 and updraft it since it’s a kitteneaper but I have to do all my own clicking in the forge. I was worried this may be market manipulation but it seems at this point it may be stabilizing. I just don’t want to end up spending a lot this week and next month it’s half the price. But nobody has a crystal ball so there’s no sure way to tell and if it happens it happens

You can’t lose the other bonuses like stat increases. They aren’t tied to the reward level up specifically. They just happen and aren’t unlocked through any interface.

You can get around it by changing your character. If you start the LFG and change characters every so often it takes longer for it to “expire”. And if you get suppressed and change it usually lets me post again. However I agree it’s a bad system.

There’s no point to this thread. It isn’t going to happen there’s no use debating about it. I do agree that the OP’s logic is a bit off in the thread in general but he apparently thinks differently than most people because this isn’t the first thread he has made that is like this. But yeah kinda pointless to argue over something that common sense says won’t happen anyway.

Question about upgrading from free account

I think Qugi is right. Tho even if he isn’t (in my opinion) if you’re going to dish out $30 and only end up getting him the core game it is more worth it just to put another $20 into it for HoT. But what Qugi said makes sense.

Anyway. I have to say I love doing the Nevermore quests. Tier 4 is awesome and really makes you feel you have a connection to the Raven on the staff. This was a huge thing for me that was missing. I used to play ffxi and you developed a similliar connection with your artifact armor which related to your profession. I’m glad I am able to do that now in gw2.

Is your Mesmer focus pulling the mobs? Granted they have to be relatively near the wall before the pull.

You’re eles should be spamming lava font and placing it so it hits 2 orbs as often as possible. A lava font and 1-2 auto attacks will kill the orbs. I’ve don’t it before with one ele and still won. At the last phase you will want to focus on clearing orbs in your path and ignore some that are on the opposite end.

If this wasn’t in place there would be people complaining as well. Or if it was in place and too short. It’s a business decision. Anet can’t make everyone happy. You fall into the category of unhappy people relating to this decision. If you look at it from an actual ethics model though they made the right decision.

It’s the default for when the game doesn’t know where you were last. It only keeps track (apparently) back to one previous zone. So its not exactly intended but it’s not un- intended. Just how it works and more of a QoL thing that they probably won’t have time to address.

You skipped over it. skipping over it means you put less time and effort into it than people that did not skip over it and got the achievements and now the mastery points.
Now you can go back and also put the same amount of time and effort as others. Unless of course, in the past, you were standing next to the legendary champions in SW and decided not to hit them, or decided to zone out before completing events in SW. maybe you decided not to jump off the diving spots but you can ignore that if you don’t want to go back and do it.
And as far as the living story goes those achievements do take a lot of work which you haven’t done because you have to pay for it. You mentioned your finals keeping you from it and that is understandable although you only needed to log in I think once a month. Idk maybe your finals were taking months. There were emails sent out when releases happened. Maybe a net needed to give you a special phone call. Anyway good luck getting anywhere acting so belligerent.

Also you’re saying this as if the meta was REQUIRED to be completed when they added whatever content that is linked to mastery’s today. Wich wasn’t the case

It was a sense of progression towards a skin piece and additional AP for those who liked to collect it.

Not once did this kind of content block you out from anything else in this game. Now it does

Your last sentence is just a matter of perspective. Since you are using “blocked” in this context you’re actually wrong. There was plenty blocking you out from content before masteries and HoT. For example: To get a legendary you needed to get world completion. A lot of people don’t like world completions. You can’t PvP world completion. You can’t make a legendary without world completion. Right now you can’t craft a second generation legendary without mastery. That requires you do things to get mastery points just like world completion was required to get first generations. It’s a block if you want to view it that way but it has always been this way. And nothing is preventing you from playing.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Andraus.3874

Your arguement is more clear at first. Yes I did read everything and that is when your argument became convoluted. You said you would have done these achievements when you were doing the content if you knew it would be required for mastery points. Then you explained in all caps about “HOW HARD IS THIS TO UNDERSTAND?” Well now you know so now you can do them. What is the difference? You have to go back into those zones so the WP costs? Or you just don’t feel like putting the time into it? This is what people are getting at now. You lead the conversation down this track and now demanding that you didn’t and that everyone else is ignorant.

With that being said, I think you would find a lot of people agreeing that a few more ways to acquire mastery points such as through PvP or WvW would be nice. But you’re not very good at understanding how to present an argument in a way to be persuasive. Which I assume was your initial goal but it didn’t work out as you come off as angry and complaining. That’s just my perception, maybe others are being persuaded by you who knows.

Doesn’t this depend on how much HP so one currently has? Idk to be honest. But if someone is only down by 9k and you heal for 15k but the log shows 9k that would make sense. Idk tho.

Questions from returning player

Andraus.3874

There is going to be a balance patch sometime in January. I would wait until after that to see how theif fairs in raids before making changes. But in the mean time you could look at moving your ascended armor onto something like engi or Druid. Viper Engi does well in the current meta however it isn’t the best for the last raid boss but people will still take it. A healer is needed for all the raid bosses currently.

But yeah wait until this balance patch hits. My guess is it will be closer to the end of the month.

Edit: Viper is expensive to “make” even from exsistonf ascended armor because of black diamonds. So if you end up going that route you won’t want to change your armor back to something better for theif if their ends up getting buffed and back in the meta. Changing your armor to a healer spec and back to zerker again wouldn’t be too much of a huge gold sink.

Taxis on LFG kills the game...

Andraus.3874

The need to do that comes form the crappy megaserver not putting ppl into none full maps be for making more

so i suppose you can say the game is killing the game ?

Hmm yeah, but let’s be honest, even if they get rid of it, people will do what they did 2 years ago when Tequatl got revamped, which means logging in a different server like Desolation for the same reasons.

Not get rid of it; they need to change it so the mega server stops opening new maps when there are already a lot of low population maps. Maps should all first hard cap (or nearly hard cap) so before the sever opens a new one. But it doesn’t so you have to taxi people in. Which means there’s a a lot of map shards created for TT around reset spawn time. And more than half of those maps get cleared out as people are using taxi to get to a full map so there’s a lot of maps that are near empty as they take around an hour or more to close.

Did you read the original post this was not a fraudulent key the upgrade was paid for with his moms credit card, when his mom got the statement she didn’t recognize the perchase, though is was a fraudulent charge did a charge back. This happen quite often, unfortunately Anets policy on this is quite harsh, do a charge back and totally lose you account, but Anet should have some way to handle this differently give the account holder some way to make restution to get their account back the only issue I can see is the cost my be high, to high that most will not pay it so they don’t offer it.

You didn’t read the whole thread. The OP was wrong and his friend (who the thread is actually about) responded and I responded to that. Anyway seems this matter is over.
